Girls, be Cautious.

Girls, beware of transient young
men. Never suffer the address Of
strangers. Recollect one good,
steady farmers boy or industrious
mechanic is worth more than all
the floating trash IN the world
The allurements of a dandy Jack,
with a gold chain about his neck,
a walnut stick in his paw, and a
brainless though fancy skull, can
never make up the loss of kind
fathers home, a mothers counsel
and the society of brothers and sis
tiers. These affections last, while
that of such a man is lost in the
wane of the honeymoon. Girls be-
ware take heed lest We fall into
the "snare of the fowler" Too
many have already been taken from
a kind fathers home and a good
mothers counsel, brought to shame
and disgrace and then thrown upon
their own resources, to spend their
few remaining days in grief and
sorrow, while the brainless skull is
making it's circuit around the world
bringing to its ignoble will all that
may be allured by his deceitful
snares, and many a fair one to the
shame of his artiul villainy.

A Truly COmnendahIe Clock.

ATLANTA, July 25.-SOme time
ago Il. +. Lanier was arrested and
carried 10 Meridian, Miss, on a
charge of murder. As soon as he
was arrested the old clock that
stood on the mantelpiece stopped
short, and hasn't licked once for
over a year until this evening"
Just as the town clock was tolling
4 o'clock the family Of Mr.. Lanier
was greatly astonished by the
striking of the Old clock. They
felt sure that it was sign Of good
or bad news, and they at once called
in the neighbors. On their arrival
the clock was ticking and the hour
hand gradually moved on to j
O'Clock. Just before that time the
family received a telegram from
Mr.. Lanier that he had been ac-
quilted and would arrive home TO-
night. The clock still runs.

Inyeterate Case Of Erysipelas
Cured.

Gentlemen-My little daughter
was sorely afflicted with erysipelat
every spring and fall for eleven
years, continuing for about two
months each attack. 1t affected
the whole skin surface with red
ness, thickeping of the skin and
often followed by a pustular erup
ton. The physicians failed to re-
lieye or arrest it, but the case grew
worse every year for eleven years
At the beginning of one of heT
spells | commenced the use OF
Swift's Specific. In a few days 1t
brought out a profuse pustula erup.
ton. which In a few days passed
away, leaving the child perfectly
well, and she has not had an attack
or a symptom of the disease since
now three years ago, and has been
in perfect health. Have given her
a few bottles every spring and fall,
and she has had no return OF the
disease.
| know that S. S. S. cured her,
for she had it every fall and spring
from the age of three years to thir-
teen years. She is now sixteen
wears old, and has not had a spell
in three years.
Yours truly, j. w. DUNN.

REGAROIN6 MARRIAGE.

This is some advice in the W0-
mans Home JOWRdi Girls, don't
marry a man for money, position or
anything but love. Don't do it, if
you want to live to a good old age
and be happy. You may think that
money can bring you all you desire,
but 1t can't. That is where you are
mistaken. 1t can buy a good many
things, but IL can never purchase
contentment for your heart or hap
piness for your soul. 1t may bring
temporary smiles to your face, but
1t will leave great shadows in your
heart. Don't think that l would
advise you to marry a worthless
fellow, Just because you imagine
YOU love him. y refined, good, IN
telligent woman should never mar
ry a vulgar, ill.bred man. No, no
never unite yourself to anyone who
Is not a man in the truest mean
ing of the word. Neither could l
advise woman to marry a man
who had no visible means OF sup
porting her, but for heavens sake
don't marry a millionaire or a king
| if you don't love him. 1t will not
do. People have tried it time and
again, only to find it a miserable
failure. 1t may do for a WHILE
You may revel in gilded halls, and
be lost in the giddy rounds of
pleasure, but a time will come when
these things will be hollow mock
cry to you. There will be an zach
| ing void" the world can never fill.
Sometimes mothers are to blame
for the unhapplness of their daugh-
tiers. They teach them that respect
for their husband and lots of "boo-
dlen are infinitely to be preferred
TO that foOlishness called lOye.-
| That would do very well if life had
no waves of trouble, but it takes
something more than simple re-
spect to make two hearts cling to-
gether in the hour of adversely. A
woman that turns her back on
wealth and takes the man of her
choice may miss some of the luxu-
ries Of life, but she will be happy
Don't marry a dude. Better get
you a monkey. 1t is cheaper and
a great deal nicer. Don't fool with
that class of animals. They gener-
ally wear $40 hat on a ten'cent
brain, and the woman who takes
one of these chaDs will get lett.

Harper's Young People
An ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

Harper's Young People has been called
"the model OF what periodical for young
readers ought to be" and the justice OF
this commentator is amply sustained by
the large circulation it has attained both
at home and in Great Britain. This sue
cess has been reached by methods that
must commend themselves to the Judg'
ment of parents, no less than to the tastes
OF children-namely, by an earnest and
well sustained effort 10 provide the best
and most attractive reading for young
people at low price. The illustrations
are copious and of conspicuously high
standard of excellence.

give hogs more green feed than
formerly. Because hogs are kept
in the pen, or not given a wide
range. is no reason why they
should not have plenty of green
feed. They can be sOiled as well
as cattle, and will relish all kinds
of green feed that may be thrown
to them. Peas and oats, put in
early, make an excellent soiling
crop for hogs, and are of the right
kind to put on muscle and promote
growth. Corn properly grown
may follow these. The corn should
reach the milk stage before being fed
to the hogs, as it then has accumu.
lated all the gums, sugars and
starches for the production of a
full crop of grain. BY planting ut
different dates they may be kept in
full supply of green corn from the
middle of July or first Of August
until the frost comes. The same is
true of peas and oats.
Last fall green looking worm
ate up most Of the late cabbage
1t was a rare thing that patch
escaped. Visiting friend, says a
writer, | noticed they had the
fnestkind of cabbage heads. Upon
being asked how it happened that
they had such nice cabbages, while
other folks were all destroyed by
the worms, the lady replied that
she noticed the worms were eating
theirs and took common table salt
and sprinkled them quite freely
that it seemed to rust or burn the
plants a little at first, but the
worms quit at once, the cabbage
soon recovered, and made the best
crop they had had for ten years.
Wearing a wet cloth or a cab
bage.leaf, in the crown Of the
straw hat, is useful in keeping the
head cool. Avoid drinking mucl
ice.water. Tea, moderately cooled
with ice, is a most acceptable
drink, as is "Switchell," a New
England name for molasses an'
water, made pleasant. acid witt
vinegar, and sufficient ginger add
ed to give it slight pungency.-
Let it be only moderately Iced
Either of these will allay thirs

safely, but may also be taken i
